100, 900 MEN AGITATED OVER CON-
TIHUED r2EI CHIT REDUCTIONS.

The Employees of Minnesota Railway Fear
Discharge or Reduction in Wages and
Will Petition Governor nEcGiu to I1uc-
zle the Railway Commission.
M1NNEAPoLIs Oct 26,-The repeated
reduction in railroad freight rates in Min
nesota during the past year have been re-
garded with alarm by the employees of
the roads. They have feared that these
reductions would force the roads to cut
down expenses, which would mean
reduction Of the number CT
men employed and a decrease
in the wages of those retained. Several
secret meetings have been held by the
men in Minneapolis and elsewhere, and a
general spirit of uneasiness has pre-
vailed.
1t is stated that there about 100000
railway employees in Minnesota. At the
meeting OF the men many plans have
been discussed to meet the
trouble that they felt sure
would soon fall on them. 1t is author
itively stated that the outcome Of this
agitation has been a state organization
for mutual benefit Eamong the employees.
The general sentiment is that the state
railroad commission was the
cause of the continued en-
forced cut in the freight rates
during the last nine months and that the
commissioners had resolved te soon en-
force another cut of from IL to 80 per
cent. 1t has been decided to protest to
Governor McGill against any further re-
duction by the railroad commission. Pc
titions have already been circulated
throughout the state in fulfllment Of
the plans mapped out, and they have been
largely signed. A committee has been
appointed to present the petitions ut the
proper time to the governor.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 26.-At day
light it was discovered that the crew of
the wrecked schooner Alva Bradley was
still on board, having lost a yawl and not
being able to get off. A tug was tele-
grapled for and went down as soon as
possible, but could not get to the schooner
because of the terrific seas breaking over
her. The men could be seen on board
and are thought to be safe. A flag Of

DETRoIT, Mich, Oct. 25.-A furious

shine is enjoyed. During the early hours
Of Saturday light snow began to fall
and continued, with slight Interruptions,
both that day and the next, though it
thawed slightly on Sunday. On Monday
snow fakes again fell for a few hours,
melting as they touched the warm earth.
Those fortunate enough TO have sleighs
or "go-sleds" took the rare opportunity
to enjoy sleigh-ride, as the thermometer
has registered between 20 and 30 degrees
above zero for the last few days.
By the wind storm last Thursday much
damage was done to hay-stacks and a
large amount of hay lost. Windmills
suffered also. The wheel of r. G. Kess-
ler's was blown down and the shaft
broken, while the fans to that of G. w.
BLACKWELL are separated and liable to be
demolished by the next heavy gale. The
most serious accident reported is that
which happened at D. G.. Carleton's. A
heavy gust tore the roof from the horse
stable and blew it against the house with
such force that it damaged the cornice
and broke hole through the side of the
building, penetrated the grouting and
smashed table at the foot of the bed
upon which Mr.. Carleton lay sick.
With much effort Mrs. Carleton removed
her invalid husband to another room, and
then fastened to Mr.. Weeks residence,
three-quarters of mile distant, in the
face of the wind, to obtain assistance.
Mr.. Weeks mounted horse and rendered
all the aid he could to prevent the build
from receiving greater damage. A few
small losses are heard of in many direc-
tons, and those living in tall houses were
much frightened.

Sheriff Miller on Wednesday dis
covered that Gordon Skinner, held for
the murder of Ericsson last fall, had just
completed the manufacture of a couple of
wooden keys, made from hard wood, and
with such nicely as to unlock his cell
door to perfection, which it was his in
tention to do that very night. The sher-
if, however, put an end to his escape by
the timely discovery. Skinner says he
did the work with piece Of hoop iron
and some bits of glass. His assumed
lunacy, we think, has come to an end,
and a close watch should be kept over
the cold-blooded murderer.-[Heys CITY

that drug store is better in community

The affirmative was maintained by Major
Pilkenton, j. w. Carson and Mrs. Carson,
while the banner of the opposition was
upheld by Messrs. Hathaway and T. A.
Shorthill. Both sides of the question
were handled with ability, the speakers
seemed to feel a deep interest in the
question they were considering, a question
that is agitating the entire country. The
judges decided in favor of the drug store.

Commencing Representative Tindal.
From the News and Courier.
THE WISE COURSE.

Mr. Tindal, of Clarendon, is an ed
ucated farmer, a practical" farmer,
and one of the leading spirits il the
Farmers movement. His whole course
shows that he is thoughtful, conserva-
tive and moderate in his opinions, and
he is in every way a true and capable
representative OF our agricultural in
terests.
Upon consideration OF all the cir
cunstapces, and at the end Of the pro
longed discussion that has been heard
in the press, on the stump, in the
farmers clubs and in the Legislature,
Mr.. Tind,,l frankly recognizes the fact
that the common sense and common
sentiment of the great body of the
people of South Carolina demand that
the experiment OF a College of Agli-
culture, as provided for in the legisla-
ton for the reorganization OF the
South Carolina University, shall be
faithfully tried before more costly
and doubtful plan shall be attempted
to be put in force. Mr.. Iindal is IN
favor, therefore, Of testing honestly
and earnestly what the College can
accomplish, and is opposed to throw
ing obstacles in the way.
This is the right spirit and the wise
course. If the College can be made
successful by the proper support it
Will accomplish every desired object
and in the most economical manner.
If it shall fail, after receiving proper
support, the course will be clear for
future action, and their will be nc
room left for dissatisfaction or doubt
in regard TO the permanent establish
ment of separate college.

for me that il he has not covered Els
article with patent right I shall use
some OF those same thOIShts mySeli
as I have occasion to talk on this sub

be put into a tract. It is Just about
the right length to be taken in at one
reading and remembered. It is abso-
lutely unanswerable, and will do good

There is great looseness Of opinion IN
some of our churches in regard to the

five dollars worth for gratuitors dis

The winning of a name for them
selves by South Carolinians in adopt
ed homes in other States, is source
of great qualification to friends OF the
native heath. We clip from Alabama
papers that his friends might learn Q.
his success, the following compliment
tary notices of Rev. L. D. Bass and
family. The Greenville (Ala) Advo-
cate of Dec. 7th says:
Rev. L. D. Bass, Pastor of the Baptist
church in this city has !. been called to the
pastorate Of the End Baptist chCrca OF Mont
gomery. The Montgomery people want Mr..
Bass and no doubt offer him greater induce
ments than the Baptists Of Greenvl.le can;
yet the membership here are all very fond
of him, and he has many friends with the
citizens generally, all of whom would regret
to see him leave Greenville, and hope that
he can see that it is best for him to remain
here.
The Butler Journal published at the
same place says:
Rev. l.. D. Bass has just returned from
trip to Indianapolis, Ind, where he deliver
ed an address before the Baptist Congress
Of the United States. His efforts on the oc-
cas;on hare been highly complimented by
the Baptist people.
The Journal, in another article de-
scriptive OF the South Alabama Insti-
tute at Greenvi'le Of which Mrs. Bass
is one of the faculty, gives a short NC
tice Of the professors and their branch
